An optical illusion (also known as visual illusion) is characterized by visually perceived images that differ from objective reality. The information gathered by the eye is processed in the brain to give a perception that does not tally with a physical measurement of the stimulus source. Today we’ve crawled deep into the Internet and gathered 60 incredibly amazing illusion pictures that can stimulate your brain! In this comprehensive collection, you can find many visual perceptions, optical illusions, paradoxes, and perception puzzles. You better be prepared that these images will trick your eyes to make you question whether seeing really is believing! Without further ado, let’s check out the photos and take this opportunity to exercise our mind!

Face Off
The Glowing Core
Look into the centre point and stare for a while. How many colours can you see altogether in the object? You should see a purplish circle and the 4 rotating ‘wings’ are tinted green. Make sure you always keep focused on the centre.
Look at the dots in the middle of image for a long time. Then quickly close your eyes and look at a bright light. What can you see?
Wheel of Confusion
Which way is the wheel turning? If you focus on the red dots and follow them round, it appears to be rotating anti-clockwise. However, if you follow the yellow dots round instead, the whole wheel will be turning the other way!
Vanishing Fluff
This is an amazing illusion, just stare at the black dot for a while and you will see the colored ‘fluff’ disappear!
Checkerboard with Shadow
The squares labeled A and B are the same shade of gray. This can be verified by joining the squares marked A and B with two vertical stripes of the same shade of gray
The Mysterious Square
The colored pieces of this puzzle can be rearranged to form two “13 by 5 right triangles” that have different surface areas. This is a visual paradox that can be explained mathematically.

Do you see a man in between these pillars?

See the face of a soldier and a man that is bending over on the below eye illusion.
Turn the picture upside down to see how men see women after 6 beers.

How many faces can you see on this picture? (There should be 11 faces.)
Do you know all numbers can be created by using only two numerals – 4 and 8.
Can you find “the hidden tiger”? Not the obvious one that everyone sees. Look for words in stripes.
Primrose’s Field
This illusion already looks quite ‘wavy’, but if you try slowly moving the mouse cursor up and down the center of the image and focus on the cursor. You should see the picture ‘waving’ in an incredible way.
A Bulge
Would you believe that the lines in this picture below are completely parallel?
What line is longer, from a to b, or from b to c? In fact, they’re both the same length.

All of the red lines are completely parallel would you believe?

Blind Spot Experiment
To find your blind spot, close your left eye and focus your right eye on the tiny cross. At some point the big circle will disappear as it crosses your ‘blind spot’. If you can’t see this effect, then try sitting closer/further from the screen.
This is another blind spot experiment. Close your right eye. With your left eye, look at the L below. Slowly move your head closer or further away from the screen while looking at the L. The R will disappear when your head is approximately 50 cm (20 in) from the screen. You can repeat the experiment with your right eye by looking at the R.
The circle and the squares appear distorted by the background patterns.
The vertical lines are both the same length.

The circles appear to rotate when you move your head closer and further away from the screen while looking at the dot in the center.
Stare at the black center. Do you see it getting bigger? Guess what. It’s not changing.
